Christophe Galfard's book is "The Universe in Your Hand A Journey Through Space, Time, and Beyond" ( Read more at BigThink.com: Follow Big Think here:YouTube: Transcript - The interesting thing about trying to unravel the laws of nature is that yes, we have found some laws. We understand gravity to some extent. For a long time gravity has told us that nothing can escape the gravitational grip of a black hole. And everything we had known about black holes until the mid-1970s was only related to gravity.

If You've Ever Felt You Stepped Into The Twilight Zone In A Meeting, This Video Will Speak To You People on the business side, creative side, and technical side of an operation don’t necessarily all speak the same language--but for our friends in the engineering department, being asked to transcend the rules of pesky “reality” and the laws of physics, geometry, thermodynamics, and other areas of scientific expertise that their business-minded colleagues don’t understand must be incredibly frustrating. That’s the takeaway from “The Expert,” a seven-minute short written and directed by Lauris Beinerts of London. The video is about a “funny business meeting illustrating how hard it is for an engineer to fit into the corporate world," but, really, it speaks to anyone who's been in meetings where they've truly felt that the people across the table are living on another plane of reality based on the requests coming out of their mouths.

Tree of Life Web Project The Tree of Life Web Project (ToL) is a collaborative effort of biologists and nature enthusiasts from around the world. On more than 10,000 World Wide Web pages, the project provides information about biodiversity, the characteristics of different groups of organisms, and their evolutionary history (phylogeny). Each page contains information about a particular group, e.g., salamanders, segmented worms, phlox flowers, tyrannosaurs, euglenids, Heliconius butterflies, club fungi, or the vampire squid. ToL pages are linked one to another hierarchically, in the form of the evolutionary tree of life.

Teacher Makes Resignation Letter Public A local teacher is making waves after posting her resignation letter online. Pauline Hawkins is leaving Liberty High School in Colorado Springs after more than a decade. She tells 11 News she believes the education system in Colorado is on a downward spiral and she's ready to get out, citing low pay and standardized testing as two major reasons for her departure. But it's her resignation letter that has grabbed the attention of people across the country. An excerpt: I have sweet, incredible, intelligent children sitting in my classroom who are giving up on their lives already. I can no longer be a part of a system that continues to do the exact opposite of what I am supposed to do as a teacher–I am supposed to help them think for themselves, help them find solutions to problems, help them become productive members of society. As unique as my personal situation might be, I know I am not the only teacher feeling this way. "They aren't just a number or data.
